Wind Blade Analysis Problem Specification

Created using ANSYS 2020 R1

Learning Goals

In this tutorial, you will learn how to:

• Develop a CFD solution for  wind turbine rotor using ANSYS Fluent
• Develop a a 3D mesh, solve for the flow field, and plot results

Problem Specification

This tutorial shows you how to simulate the flow around a given “standard” wind turbine rotor using Ansys Fluent.  The rotor geometry is shown in the figure below. The hub is neglected for simplicity since it doesn't contribute to the power generated by the rotor. Only one blade is considered in the simulation set-up by using periodic boundary conditions. The simulation yields the velocity and pressure fields around the blade and the power generated.

(Modal Analysis of a Satellite)

Created using ANSYS (AIM)

Problem Specification

A simplified CubeSat is held in a rectangular box called a P-POD while being launched into orbit.  The 1U CubeSat with legs has dimensions of 10.5cm x 10cm x 10cm.  The structure is made of Aluminum 6061-T6.  The CubeSat also contains boxes and a cylinder, which represent simplified internal components such as a main flight computer and the attitude control system.
